In apposition to happiness
principle is justice, a
subordinate of ipsedixit
principle. Assumptions
1. that justice is the proper
standard 2. that so
and so is one of its dictates.
An indirect but not the less operative mode of appositn.
to the greatt happs. prince. is the setting up under some other
mane indeed under any other name & making reference to in
the character of an end in view or say instrumt. of guidance
or if the appellatn. be not too familiar directing lost
any appellative by whh. reference is made & homage paid to
this sole defensible instrumt. of guidance to human conduct :
such for exe. is the word justice : another subordinate
of the ipse dixit prince. The word justice being set
at the "head & front of the offence-"committing work.
Thereabouts come one after another strings of directns., precepts,
mandates, call them whh. you will - saying in effect
& substance to every body who will read- on the occasn.
in questn. do so & so for this is what is required by
justice. On each occasn. here are two assumptns. made;
made in the genuine ipse dixit style : assumptn. the
first justice is the proper & of efft. sufficient standard of reference.
Assumptn. the 2nd. this is of the number of the dictates of that
same principle: assumptions (need it be said?) both
of them unsupported by assumt. - both of them, in one
word, as the phrase is, gratuitous.
